Statement on administration decision

Coventry City Football Club Holdings can confirm that a non-operating subsidiary of the Club has today been placed into administration.

A spokesman for the Club said: “It is important to stress that the Football Club itself is not under threat.

“This is merely a property subsidiary which owns no material assets and has no employees, on or off the pitch.

“The Club can confirm that all staff wages, PAYE and all other creditor commitments will continue to be met as before by Coventry City Football Club Holdings.

“Unlike other instances of clubs being taken either wholly or partially into administration, there are no HMRC or VAT implications and the Football Club will continue to trade as normal without interruption.

“Our main objective now is to remain competitive on the pitch and give Steven Pressley and the playing staff our full backing and commitment.”
